Cheap pocket sized iPhone/iPod Touch stylus

Step 2 Wrapping the q-tip

All you have to do is wrap the q-tip so that one fluffy end is sticking out (make sure the end sticking out is halfway wrapped in tinfoil). Then get the q-tip damp, but not so that it is dripping water. Now you can go try out your new stylus, becuase your dirt cheap iPhone stylus is complete.

Spit actually works with this... who knew?

Elegant solution. Works great. Going to use this until I find a soft conductive material I won't have to wet.

This is great. I made one and it works well on my Tablet. I also used electrical tape to wrap around the parts that don't need to be touching your fingers. Makes it sturdy and look cool.

Worked like a charm! If you're interested in a colored stylus, candy wrappers or gum foil's work also.

 Another 2¢ here after I tried the pencil.  It didn't work.  Then I realized your fingers have to be touching the foil so if you have the foil sticking out far enough that your fingers touch it it should be okay.

This was great!  I wrapped a bit of copper foil tape (used for stained glass) and didn't even have to come all that close to the tip for it to work a treat.  Am now going to put the cotton  covering over the end of a mechanical pencil with a clip so I can hook it to the cord I put on my iTouch.  I like to read books on it and was afraid I might drop it on a plane if I fell asleep.  Instructables is the greatest!

Mine works. wrap it to very nearly the edge, lick your finger and rub it onto  the end.
